Wu Meiniang's performance today is completely different from what Changsun Wuji thought. She was a merchant from a samurai and then sponsored Li Yuan to raise an army. In terms of talent and family background, the samurai and Wu are nothing but a samurai. But how could she educate a woman like Wu Meiniang?

The year is only twelve years old, but in front of the powerful people in the garden, not only do they be virtuous and elegant, but they can even inadvertently join Li Ke to win the favor of Li Shimin and Li Yuan. This is something that Li Ke has never done, but Wu Meiniang can do it easily.

Changsun Wuji watched Empress Changsun grow up since childhood, and even Empress Changsun, who was the same age, did not have the same method as Wu Meiniang. Li Ke was already difficult enough to deal with it, so Changsun Wuji had a headache. What would it be if Wu Meiniang was added?

Changsun Wuji was still a little dazed, and on the other hand, Wu Meiniang had already sat down next to Li Ke.

"What a smart little girl. After today, I'm afraid that Mei Niang's clever reputation will be full of Chang'an." Wu Mei Niang sat down beside Li Ke. Li Ke looked at Wu Mei Niang beside him, smiled and said softly.

Wu Meiniang looked at Li Ke who was smiling beside her and replied softly: "Your Highness is ridiculous, Meiniang is stupid, she just didn't cause trouble for Your Highness."

Li Ke smiled and said, "My grandmother is humble. If you are stupid, there will be no smart woman in the world."

Wu Meiniang sat beside Li Ke and saw that Li Ke's wine glass was empty. So she picked up the wine pot and filled Li Ke with a glass of wine. She smiled and said, "Your Highness said this, Meiniang is just praising me."

Li Ke picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, saying, "You helped me a lot today, and I am praising you."

Just now, what Wu Meiniang said before, asking Li Ke to invite Li Shimin and Li Yuan at the same time, which naturally helped Li Ke, and Li Ke's words were justified.

Upon hearing this, Wu Meiniang put down the wine pot, looked at Li Ke with watery eyes, and asked, "Since that's the case, can Meiniang ask for His Highness?"

Wu Meiniang's words were just falling. Although Li Ke's expression did not change at all, a hint of vigilance flashed through his heart.

Who is Wu Meiniang? She is the Emperor Zetian who should have been in the sky more than twenty years later and the heroine is the king. Li Ke just praised her, so Wu Meiniang asked him, and Li Ke was instinctively guarding.

"Oh? I don't know what happened, let's talk about it." Li Ke did not directly agree to Wu Meiniang, and asked calmly.

Wu Meiniang's face showed a warm smile as warm as the early spring sun, and said to Li Ke: "After night, there will be a Shangyuan Street on Chang'an Tianjie. I heard that it is much more lively than in previous years. Can Your Highness accompany Meiniang to stroll around?"

Li Ke heard Wu Meiniang's words and paused slightly. He didn't expect that what Wu Meiniang said was actually about this. This matter was just like the little girl's playfulness, but he was too careful.

That's true. Wu Meiniang said it out loud, and the one living in her heart was just a teenage girl, who was just smarter and more agile than ordinary people. How could she compare with the deep and cruel Wu Zetian, who had experienced the hardships of the world, who had left blood step by step, and was deeply and cruel.

Li Ke said, "I tell you what's wrong? After the banquet is over, you can change your clothes with a simpler dress when the Duke returns to his house. At the end of the evening, I will go outside the house in person to wait for you."

Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "If you want to do this, your highness will be in trouble."

————————————————————

The Furong Garden Banquet was originally a happy event, but in the celebration of the garden, there was a man's expression with an ugly face. This man was Xue Yantuo, who came to Chang'an to pay homage to the public on his father's order.

Xue Yantuo was originally one of the nine Tielite tribes and was a subordinate of the Turks. However, with the Northern Expedition of the Tang Dynasty, Xue Yantuo also took advantage of the situation to rebel against the Turks, and raised an army from Yating Yu's military mountain, and joined forces with the Tang Dynasty to attack the Turks, and finally destroyed them.

After the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Turks, Xue Yantuo, as an ally in the northern part of the Tang Dynasty, had to divide the old Turkic land with the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty had the south of the desert and Xue Yantuo had the north of the desert. It can be said that Xue Yantuo inherited most of the power of the original Turkic people. It was precisely because of this that Xue Yantuo jumped from a small part that had been reduced to a corner and became the lord of the northern land in just a few years, and the country's power rose sharply.

In terms of national strength, although Xue Yantuo was not as good as the Tang Dynasty, he was not inferior to Tubo, and was far from the Western Turks. He was comparable to Goguryeo. However, at today's banquet, Xue Yantuo's ranking was extremely low, and he was even under Nanzhao, a small southern country, and ranked last.

He himself knew very well that he led his army to the south at the end of last year, which annoyed Li Shimin, so Li Shimin took this opportunity to give him a warning.

Dadu is the purest Xueyantuo person. His temperament is as competitive as the blood flowing in his body. He regards himself as a great country in the north and the eagle on the grassland, but now he ranks at the last place, so naturally he can't stand it.

After three rounds of drinking, Dalushi was still forgotten in the corner of the banquet. Dalushi, who was arrogant by nature, finally couldn't sit still.

He generously set the right time, and after the song, he slowly walked into the middle from the last seat.

"Xue Yantuo Dadushi greets Your Majesty and the Emperor." Dadushi walked to the table and said to Li Shimin and Li Yuan who were sitting in the head.

This time, the grand setting was placed in the last seat, which was originally done by Li Shimin, and he also used this to knock the grand setting and hit Xue Yantuo. Li Shimin looked at the grand setting and went out of the row and nodded. He wanted to see what the grand setting meant.

At present, the Tang Dynasty and Xue Yantuo are still allies. If they are generous and surrender, Li Shimin can still tolerate Xue Yantuo and make him king in the north. But if they are generous and arrogant and do not repent, Li Shimin has to reconsider who should give this Mobei to.

Li Shimin looked at the generous magnanimity in front of him, and his face was as deep as water. He asked without seeing any joy and anger: "What's the matter with the prince?"

He bowed a lot and said respectfully: "Before, the foreign minister was ignorant and went south to herd horses without authorization. He never thought that he accidentally entered the southern part of the desert and violated the Tang territory. The foreign minister came here to apologize to Your Majesty on the order of his father Khan, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive you."

The generous statement was perfunctory. No Zhenshui was more than 300 miles apart from Junji Mountain where he guarded him. How could he have missed it?

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin said to Dadu: "So, is the prince's order to apologize to the order of the prince's Yi Nan Khan?"

The Yinan has always been steady and rarely exceeds the rules. Every time he uses the name of herding horses to go south and knock on the edge, he is mostly under the command of the Dadushi. Just now, what he said is to mention the fate of the Yinan. Regardless of himself, Li Shimin felt that the generous skills were still a little resentful.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, he generously said: "The foreign minister is here to apologize to Your Majesty. Recently, the foreign minister has obtained a good horse from the north of Mo. I am willing to offer it to Your Majesty. Now he has brought it here. I hope Your Majesty will accept it with you."

There are many good horses in the north of the desert, and Li Shimin is also a good horse. After hearing the generous words, he became interested, so he said, "Since you are a good horse, let's take a look first."

"Foreign ministers accept the order." Da Dushi said, and ordered the slave who came with him to lead his horse into the garden.
